Since returning to Norfolk after Simon disabled the Palladium, he and Arabella had been confined to the Little Creek Amphibious Base housing area. The days had been fairly calm; a few hours at work, early afternoons at the beach, and then enjoying warm nights together in the exciting city sprawl of that Norfolk and the rest of the area had become.
As martial law had tightened its grip on the massive military and industrial complex in the Hampton Roads area, what had been a collection of autonomous cities was consolidated into a single political entity called Atlantica. What had been seven cities, each with its own government, had become one sprawling metroplex under the iron fist of the federally appointed Atlantica Board.
Citing a housing shortage, the Board started a number of building projects. Huge self-contained towers, called arcologies, combined the sprawling suburbs and apartment complexes into spires that seemed to pierce the clouds. As part of the civil works programs that the government used to put people to work, elevated roadways and monorails were built to connect the spires, fashioning an ultra-modern city while the rest of the area slid into bedlam.
As he wandered the huge arcades in the arcology spires of what used to be Virginia Beach, Simon's thoughts dwelt on the future. He was still searching for a place to call home, only now he was sure that he wanted to share his future with the slender redhead that stood next to him, Arabella.
His thoughts simmered as he caught the monorail back to the apartment he shared with Arabella. He had been trying to out process the Army, a lengthy process that was further complicated by his previous desertion from his unit in Washington D.C. over a year ago. Simon plugged away at the bureaucracy, waiting in lines and filling out forms, for over a week but was finally taking a day off to help Arabella do some shopping.
Simon was part of a large number of troops that were being sent home after the end of the rebellion. While there were a large number of officers being demobilized, Simon was surprised to meet Madeline Altarby, Bobby Tyler's military aide, in the line ahead of him one day. Having seen her on television and at different briefings, he struck up a conversation. They chatted as they waited and he found her disappointed and somewhat bitter that Bobby had dismissed her so quickly after the Rebellion was over.
Trying to be polite, Simon tried to steer the conversation away from work. "Well, what about the weekend? I can't believe the city council's going to stage a Grand Prix race this soon after the rebellion."
Although the race had been the popular headline, even though it was always carefully placed below the transcripts of the Shoremen trials, everyone seemed to have picked a racing team to cheer for.
"Who are you going to be rooting for?"
"No one," she muttered, withdrawing into her shell. Simon saw her chew on her bottom lip, fighting the tears that filled her eyes. "I'll just pack and write a few letters."
Knowing that there would be a big party on base for the race Simon invited Madeline, but she continued to refuse. Finally, at a loss for words, Simon was grateful when Madeline's name was called and she said farewell.
Arabella tapped him on the arm and dragged him from his daydream. "This is our stop."
Returning his attention to the present, Simon gathered their packages and walked with Arabella to their tiny apartment. He bumped into her as she bent to retrieve a small envelope that had been slipped under the door.
Simon ignored it, letting her open the note, and walked through to the kitchen for a drink. "What's it say? Somebody organizing another barbeque on the beach?"
Arabella's brow furrowed in confusion. "No. It's weird. Handwritten on a piece of notepaper. 'I am researching the activities of Reverend James Low and would like to interview you.'"
"Anything else?"
"Nope." Arabella tossed the note and its envelope on a table. "I guess she'll call or come over."
After reading and discarding the note, Arabella stretched. Simon although he still had a worried look on his face, couldn't help noticing how her breasts pressed against her thin white cotton dress.
She swept her hair up, holding it off her neck. "Damn, I'm hot and sticky."
Simon smiled, appreciating her double entendre, but his mind was still wrapped up in worry.
Seeing that he was still in a funk, Arabella fixed Simon with a slit-eyed, smoky look. "You've been tiptoeing around me for the last two weeks." Starting at the neckline, she unbuttoned the front of her dress as she walked across the room, her hips swaying as she closed the distance with her lover. "I'd offer a penny for your thoughts, but I don't have change. You seem to have some emotional baggage and I'm ready to do some unpacking."
"Huh?" Simon tried to think of something to say.
"Bullshit. I'm a child."
Simon's eyebrows shot up. Arabella had rarely showed her temper since he'd met her and had been quiet, almost submissive since coming back from the Eastern Shore. She walked toward him, her dress unbuttoned, flashing glimpses of her firm body with each, exaggerated, hip swinging stride. Arabella stopped just out of arm's reach, her dress fully unbuttoned. She placed her hands on her hips, throwing the dress back and exposing her scant white lacy underwear.
"Bury the past. Now. Today we wipe the slate clean." Arabella saw Simon's cock raise a tent in his pants. She stepped closer. "At least one part of you agrees." Softly cupping his bulging crotch Arabella sank to her knees. "I'll just wait down here while the rest of you decides."
She looked up from his lap, massaging the growing lump with her hand. Simon knew that he couldn't stay preoccupied with problems when he looked into her big blue eyes. The furrows on his brow smoothed as he unbuckled his trousers and started unbuttoning his fly.
Arabella accepted her victory silently and licked her lips as she helped Simon pull down his trousers and briefs.
"That's it. Come to momma." She pushed him backwards, tripping him with his clothes. Quickly shedding her dress, she climbed over his lap and on to the couch.
Simon smelled the tangy musk of her pussy as she lowered her face into his lap. Looking over her shoulder Arabella smiled at him and Simon found that he was focused on her bright blue eyes rather than her petite pink pussy that was inches from his face.
She held his cock tightly by its base and licked it like an ice cream cone. "I'm going to get this all wet and then I'm going to let you fuck me. You'd like that wouldn't you?"
It was almost impossible to keep from laughing at her coy, little girl voice as she swallowed almost half of his eight inch cock in a single slurp. He ran his hands over her taut thighs and ass cheeks before leaning forward to kiss her smooth-shaven pussy. She was already wet and his tongue lapped up her sweet tasting oil from the folds of her snatch.
Simon groaned as he felt his cock nudge the back of her mouth and then enter her throat. Her throat muscles constricted, increasing the friction against his steel-hard member.
"Shit, I love it when you do that."
He softly caressed her head, pushing her hair away from her face so that he could see her work as she sucked and licked the entire length of his manhood. Her head sank again, until her nose rested against the soft skin of his scrotum.
Simon's mouth returned to her slit. He kissed it with his whole mouth, softly at first and then harder. Using his tongue he parted her delicate lips and ran his tongue through the folds of her labia, consciously avoiding her clit. While she swallowed him over and over in slow, steady strokes, he straightened his tongue and carefully licked around the inner rim of her love tunnel before darting his tongue inside her.
Arabella was forced to remove his cock from her mouth as she moaned and spread her legs wider to allow him to tongue fuck her deeper. Teasing her, Simon lifted his tongue from her snatch and flicked it across her little pink rosette. She returned to his cock, determined not to let him distract her and gain control of the steamy scene.
Arabella held his cock tightly, enjoying the throbbing feeling as she constricted the blood from flowing out of his hard pole. She moved lower and took one of his testicles into her mouth, sucking on it like a piece of candy. The intense sensation made him abandon his efforts to tease her clit and she knew that it was time to put his cock inside her.
Arabella swung her body off the couch before Simon could recover and quickly straddled his lap. With one hand, she offered him her left breast. He eagerly took the swollen pink nipple into his mouth, rolling it between his tongue and teeth. With her other hand, Arabella guided his turgid prick into her dripping love box. She was so wet that he slid into her silken passage with little preamble.
"God, I love how you fill me up," she said. "I can feel your cock all the way up to my throat when you're this hard."
She ground her pussy against him and kissed his forehead. They began moving together, urgently seeking release. Both of them were close to climax and Simon's hands held Arabella's hips as she bounced up and down on his cock, taking the entire length of his thick pole inside her with each stroke.
Simon threw his head back and bellowed her name as he felt his cock spurt, sending hot jets of cum deep inside his lover's womb. As he flooded her love tunnel with his seed, Arabella felt her pussy shudder and spasm around his pulsating member. She pitched forward, resting against him as her orgasm washed through her like a tidal wave. She felt her loins convulse, milking his phallus of their milky white cream.
Arabella lay against him and Simon felt her heart pounding against his chest. He held her gently, nuzzling her neck with his kisses until she regained her senses and moved her lips to return his caresses. Slowly, Arabella lifted herself from the couch. Simon's cock slid from her well-fucked pussy with a soft pop and Arabella quickly grabbed a tissue to dam the flood of cum that ran out of her sex. Simon rose from the couch to walk toward the kitchen when the phone rang.
"Hello," he said.
"Major Woodsman, please. Major Simon Woodsman." It was a woman's voice, soft and whispery.
"This is Woodsman," he said curtly. Dread rose like bile in his throat but he forced himself to be calm.
The voice replied in a rush. "Major Woodsman, I am Penelope Penman and I'm a reporter for Network 3 news. I am researching a story on the lives of some of the refugees that traveled through the Valley early last year. "
The hair on Simon's neck stood on end. His own past was mixed up in the lives of those refugees, a past that he had tried unsuccessfully to bury. After he had deserted from his unit outside of the ruins of Washington D.C., he had survived only because a government agent named Juliet had given him a new identity. This favor had come back to haunt him when the government had demanded that he pay them back.
"I'm not sure that I can help you," he said finally.
"I have some information that you can help me investigate the activities at a refugee hostel run by the Reverend James Low."
The name of the pederastic preacher made Simon's gut churn. He could still see the Reverend's body as it slid down the wall to lie in a crumpled heap.
The voice on the phone continued. "I know that this is coming rather fast. Why don't we meet?"
Simon worried that he was being lured into a trap. He tried to think of people who would wish him harm, old enemies trying to even some scores.
Taking his silence for agreement, the reporter continued. "I'll text you the instructions," Penelope explained. "We have to be careful. But I promise that you're doing the right thing." Without waiting for an answer, she hung up.
"What was that all about?" Arabella asked.
"Somebody named Penelope Penman wants to talk about the Reverend Low."
Arabella looked scared. The last time she had seen the Reverend, Simon had just shot him dead. "This isn't good," she said.
Simon took a deep breath as his phone beeped, signaling the receipt of a message. He keyed the phone and read the message. 'Take a walk on the Boardwalk at 2000.'
Simon stood next to the phone, his face as white as a sheet. Arabella called his name softly several times before he answered. She stepped close to him, a concerned look on her face.
"Whatever it is, I'm coming with you."
She kissed his cheek and turned to put the shopping away.
"I guess we can have dinner out tonight," Simon tried to sound cheerful.
They traveled toward the beach and joined the crowd of people that were heading toward the large brick walkway known as the Boardwalk. Simon and Arabella relaxed slightly as they walked past the bars and souvenir stands hand in hand. They had walked to the end of one stretch of walkway when they reached a crossroads. Simon paused, looking down both of the tree lined walkways.
He had turned to say something to Arabella when a man thrust a flyer into his hands. "Maze Match tonight," the man yelled in Simons ear.
"What?"
"You've won two tickets to the most bodacious night of full contact entertainment in the entire city, all courtesy of Penelope." Before Simon could ask what he was talking about, the man had faded back into the crowd.
"I guess that's where we're supposed to meet her," Arabella said.
They took a cab to the old City Arena. Entering the stadium, they let themselves be swept along by the flow of the crowd.
"I don't know why she just didn't ask you to come to her office," Arabella complained as they maneuvered through the crush to find their table on the terraces above the area floor.
Simon looked around at the crowd of screaming fans. "I don't think that she's gotten censor clearance for the story," they took their seats and scanned the stained and folded menu. "Well if it's fried they have it."
"All washed down with watery beer." Arabella smiled across the table. "You sure know how to show a girl a good time."
Simon looked around. Two tiers of steep concrete terraces overlooked the arena. The seating of the old stadium had been ripped out and replaced by benches and booths, all facing the playing area.
Simon quickly flipped through the program that they'd been given at the door. The club's special event of the evening was a "Maze Match", a "grab the flag" contest pitting two teams of gladiators against each other in a sunken maze. One team tried to get through an obstacle course to the other team's "temple" and carry off their opponent's "totem." Each obstacle was called a "combat zone" where TV cameras projected the action on to huge video panels. Both sides were armored and carried exotic-looking weapons. Even though the Simon was sure that the weapons were blunt or padded, there weren't many rules and the match promised lots of blood.
The crowd was loud and definitely ready for the show. Simon, realizing that their booth was at the bottom of the upper tier, hoped that the patrons in the cheaper but higher seats didn't feel like participating in the match. He had no desire to be pelted with chicken and rib bones when the booster club got drunk.
And they were getting drunk. Waiters and waitresses carrying beer, chicken wings, and spare ribs poured out of the stairways, flowing up the steep stairs carried in small plastic buckets that were placed on each table. A harassed looking teenaged blonde stopped in front of their table and Simon ordered the ribs and some beer. Before he and Arabella had a chance to dive in, the stadium shook from the loud speaker's announcement.
Gretchen frowned at the paper panties that Lula, the waxing technician,had given her. She quickly decided that Sue’s recommendation to just skip wearing panties and go bare during her waxing was the best option. Thankfully, Lula had also given her that option without Gretchen having to ask. Following Lula’s instructions, Gretchen removed her shoes, jeans, and panties and left on her top. She sat down on the end of what looked like a massage table and draped the sheet that Lula had provided over...

FetishSimon was uneasy. Arabella had been avoiding him since their discussion in the shower the night before. With a heavy load on his mind he had made his way back into the city to continue outprocessing. The lines were as long as they had been before the holidays; the only change was that it was hotter. As Simon despaired at the thought of sitting in another line, he knew that he had to leave the Army properly this time or they'd just show up on his doorstep again. Finally, he had made it to...

Bobby huddled miserably inside his rain slicker, the wind cutting every piece of exposed skin, as he drove the small powerboat into the marshy creek.

The shadow of another craft, lying low in the water, appeared from behind a tall screen of marsh grass. Bobby tossed a line across to it and stepped back to let his conspirator cross. Paris...

Travel from place to place. The Fairy screamed, hiding behind the branches of the shrub. The coyote growled, digging after the morsel. She screamed as a paw raked her leg, opening a slash in it. The Coyote suddenly yipped, biting at the small shaft in its side. "Hai!" Thistle dropped from above. Her sword sliced the animal's back, and she was out before it could bite her. Another arrow hit it, and it whimpered. The Fairy used a brew of poisons made from mixing just about anything...
The two set up camp at the site where Vince has spent so many evenings enjoying his fairy friends.

“Be careful,” she told me, “when you’re trekking through the foothills in France. There’s a legend of fairy gobblers that goes back centuries and I would hate for you to come across one unprepared.” She was old and was starting to lose her senses so I didn’t think much of the story she told. She explained to me that the fantasy tales of fairy godmothers were twisted by Hollywood into something cute and sweet but that the true legend came from the legends of fairy gobblers. She told me...
My name is Matilda, and I used to be a fairy. A long time ago my people were many. We were small, beautiful, full of magic, and generally good people. But not all of us were good. Not all of us were fairies. Some of us changed when we became angry. It took a lot of anger for it to happen, but if we became angry enough a fairy would transform into an ugly raging giant. We called these fairies witches. Our people had a queen. She was queen over all the fairies in the world. It was her wish to...
So there I was, backpacking through Europe like every other early twenty-something, when lo-and-behold I got myself lost. That’s pretty normal for me. Ever since I was a kid, I got easily distracted by the most mundane things in the world, and got quite comfortable asking retail workers to help me find my parents. Even in my own backyard I’d end up chasing a butterfly or squirrel into another neighborhood if I wasn’t careful. I just love examining the little things in life, the details...

An English Country Garden Carrying gear for Faerie through customs can be... interesting. The Customs agent looked at the small pile of metal sections before him, curious. "What is this?" he asked. "Models of pikes," Lady Penelope told him. "May I?" "Please." She took one of the sets, and assembled it into a 16" pike, long haft, with a wide razor sharp blade on the end. She held it out, and the agent looked at it. "Not really a period piece." "No. But it was made by an...
"Once upon a time a brave soldier returned from the wars." In this chaotic world, in the spring of 2024, we start our story in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Major Simon Woodsman just wanted to go home. He had spent the last few months battling rioters and trying to help rebuild civilization in what was left of the nation's capitol. Despite his valorous service, he had nothing to show for the time he that had spent protecting his country except for the uniform on his back and the 9mm...
That same day, Bobby chaired the first meeting of the Eastern Shore Commission. The media cameras flashed and whirred as they captured the charismatic Bobby. His dark hair was immaculately combed and his smile firmly in place as he introduced the Commission's members. He looked straight into the cameras, his eyes flashing with passion, as he made an impassioned plea for unity and a peaceful resolution to the Shoremen's rebellion. Bobby's fashionable white suit had been calculated to clash...
Simon had just gotten off the phone with General Manlius. It was 2300 and it was time to go to work. Calmly, Simon packed the reference material and equipment he would take with him. When he had policed the suburbs of Washington DC, his equipment had been basic: sturdy web gear, carbon fiber body armor, and a 9 mm pistol. Now, with the resources of the government at his disposal, he was a one man army. In addition to his high velocity.50 caliber bolt gun and lightweight body armor, his...
Only a few days after Simon shared his blanket with Patty, Fate intervened. Early one summer morning, soldiers and marines of JTF Phalanx loaded into their landing craft and prepared for another "show of force" operation. These exercises were meant to show the rebels that the government still remembered them, but were usually little more than a media event. The operations were regular events, with the landing craft sailing back and forth along the coast, well in sight of the rebels, before...
Spring had passed and, with summer right around the corner, the news from the cities along the I-95 corridor was getting worse. Riots in the cities had wrecked many radio and TV stations and vandals had managed to disable most of the relay stations as they hunted for anything that could be salvaged and sold. Although many of the major network stations had ceased to operate, amateur radio stations had sprung up to pass gossip and weather around the local area. Simon liked listening to one...
Arabella returned home from work and soon wondered where Simon was. Checking her handheld computer for messages, she read Simon's terse email.
By September of 2024, the government was faced with numerous riots and rebellions across the country. Attempts to repair the food and power distribution were hampered by devastating terrorist actions, the most notable being the release of nerve gas in New York City's Penn Station at rush hour. While the Federal Government struggled to cope, it also had to deal with the movement of refugees as an election year issue. Simon and Arabella continued their work with the refugees throughout the...
A few days later, Arabella felt well enough to resume traveling. Simon was still deeply entangled with the council negotiating the care of the refugees, so he couldn't leave. In vain, he tried to get Arabella to wait a little while longer before she left for Monterey but she was adamant about finding Granny and bringing her back to Staunton. Although Simon tried once more to dissuade her, she reminded him of his deal and prepared to leave to find Granny. Once again, Arabella loaded up her...
Taking advantage of the lull in the fighting, MG Manlius had called a Commander's Conference to review the JTF's progress and plan the next attack. He was immensely pleased that his troops had been able to break out of the landing area at Cape Charles so quickly and with so few casualties. Addressing the audience of commanders and senior staff officers, the general let them all know that they had victory within their reach. "The only reason that we're not going home right now is those...
Exhausted from their night at the sensor site, Simon and Arabella hid in a thick copse of pine trees overlooking the place where the boat would meet them. Arabella parked the truck between some trees as Simon arranged his poncho for them to lie on. They had not said a word since leaving the site and, although the sky was filled with shrieking jets and thundering helicopters, neither looked up. Arabella knelt next to Simon on the poncho, her eyes looking hopefully into his. "Simon, I don't...
Simon finally prevailed over Bobby Tyler and the city council. They'd agreed to staff and resource the camp, releasing a stockpile of much needed food to the starving refugees. Simon knew that this was a hollow victory. He knew that the council would chisel away at the amount and quality of food they would actually end up sending. Probably lining their own packets in the meantime, he thought to himself. Standing in his driveway, he said good bye to Juliet. In exchange for his chaste kiss,...
The Shoremen's Rebellion had collapsed like a paper tiger once the Palladium was no longer there to shield them from the government's overwhelming firepower. Once the Federal government's power had been re-established, all that was left was for President Patterson to make his victory as public as possible. Elaborately stage managed trials were televised for the Rebellion's surviving leaders. Against the backdrop of prisoners shuffling into courtrooms, faces pale and haunted, the President...
Arabella was confused, torn by her fears and Simon's desire for commitment. Her breakfast shift in the mess hall had just ended and Arabella walked back toward the campsite, her mind churning through all the things that she wanted to tell Simon. Important things. But she didn't know how to start. Suddenly, the clouds in her thinking parted and she had the answer. "I'll call Granny Safi!" she said to no one in particular. Although she'd found the answer, finding Granny proved...
While Simon had been battling corrupt officials and traveling the countryside saving refugees, Arabella had faced challenges of an entirely different sort. Simon had left her with instructions to organize the townspeople and their resources. He said that he would need these to help the refugees that he was leading make it the last few miles to the camp. Pointing her at an old motel he told her to use it as her headquarters and that he would return in a few days. Arabella had taken one look...
The next morning, Arabella set out again, this time without waking Simon. She knew somehow that he cared about her, but she owed it to Granny to make sure everything was safe and sound. Recovering the same road she'd driven over just the day before, Arabella quickly made her way across the Appalachians. It still wasn't lunch time when she started down the long steep grade into Monterey. Arabella was relieved to find everything in Monterey calm and peaceful as she drove into the town. She...
